C# - Unable To Get IDs Of Controls Added Dynamically?
Feb 7, 2011
I am just trying to add some dynamic controls to the SimpleQueryControl (which of course is a kind of Web Control and inherits all the methods accordingly). I dont know how to get the values of Child controls which I have added dynamically.
class RoomPickerQueryControl : SimpleQueryControl
{
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
EnsureChildControls();
mColumnList.Visible = false;
}
}
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e).............................

I have ONE <asp:Button ID="btnAddUC" runat="server" ......./> and ONE <asp:Table ID="tblUC" runat="server"...> on my page. User clicks on btnAddUC, user control is added to the page [user can add 'n' user controls to the page]. here I have no problem, adding user controls to the page on user clicks.
My user control has ONE <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlItems" runat="server" ......./> and ONE <asp:CheckBoxList ID="chkItems" runat="server"..../>. I am exposing "ddlItems" by public method, "chkItems" is not exposed. "chkItems" is binded on SelectedIndexChanged event of "ddlItems".
Execution scenario:
User adds user control to the page, select item from the "ddlItems" ( Note: "ddlItems" is exposed by public property ) , "chkItems" is populated ( using ddlItems.SelectedItem.Value ) . User checks some checkboxes in "chkItems" and then decide to add one more user control. When the second user control is added to the page, checkboxes in the first usercontrol lose their state and apeears unchecked (NOTE: user checked some checkboxes and then added another user control).
I want to put checked beckboxes index in session ( Before another control is added, which event I should use, because at LOAD event there is nothing).
I was able to restict SelectedIndexChanged event to only that user control whcih generated it (checking _EVENTTARGET)

I am creating a survey page that has a list of questions and answers that can be radiobuttonlists, checkboxlists or textboxes. These controls are added dynamically to a Repeater in its ItemDataBound event using Controls.Add.
I've managed to render the page ok but when I submit the form and iterate over the controls in the repeater to get the selectedvalues of the radiobuttons and textbox values, FindControl returns null. What do I need to do to get get the selected values? I've tried iterating over the RepeaterItems but that returned null too. I've tried different types of FindControl but it never resolves the control types.
It works if I add a declarative DataBinder in the Repeater like this
<asp:Repeater ID="rptSurvey" runat="server" Visible="true" EnableViewState="true" >
<ItemTemplate>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Question") %>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
However, I want want to dynamically add the controls but in doing this i cant get the selectedvalues when submitting. This is tha main structure of my code...

I'm adding a dynamically built set of checkboxes to an asp.net page from the code behind with something like this in a recursive fashion:
pnlPageAccessList.Controls.Add(myCheckboxControl);
The controls show up fine on the page, but they don't show up when I view source, nor can I access them from the code behind.If I add the controls in the on_init method, they work. But I have some business rules driving changes to the list of controls itself that require I fire the add method elsewhere. Has anyone seen this before? I'm away from work so I can't copy the exact code.
I have two terrible ideas for how to get it working. One involves some jQuery and a set of hidden controls holding a big array of integers; the other is run the method on_init AND on my other events so the controls at least show up. Both smell like ugly hacks.

I am having trouble getting the input values of dynamically created controls in a ListView.
Here is my ListView:

The textbox is found, but there is no value. It's like I just wrote over the textboxes with new ones in the previous block. If I remove the previous block of code no textboxes are ever found.

I am trying to create a RadioButtonListWithOther class that extends the RadoButtonList but I can't get the "Other" textbox to render on the page. When I step through while debugging I can see the control in the parent control's Controls collectio but it still doesn't render.
public class RadioButtonListWithOther : RadioButtonList
{
private TextBox _otherReason;
public RadioButtonListWithOther()
{
_otherReason = new TextBox();
_otherReason.TextMode = TextBoxMode.MultiLine;
_otherReason.Rows = 6;
_otherReason.Width = Unit.Pixel(300);
_otherReason.Visible = true;
}
protected override void CreateChildControls()
{
this.Controls.Add(_otherReason);
this.EnsureChildControls();
base.CreateChildControls();
}
protected override void OnSelectedIndexChanged(EventArgs e)
{
_otherReason.Enabled = false;
if (OtherSelected())
{
_otherReason.Enabled = true;
}
base.OnSelectedIndexChanged(e);
}
public override string Text
{
get
{
if (OtherSelected())
{
return _otherReason.Text;
}
return base.Text;
}
set
{
base.Text = value;
}
}
public override bool Visible
{
get
{
return base.Visible;
}
set
{
//Push visibility changes down to the children controls
foreach (Control control in this.Controls)
{
control.Visible = value;
}
base.Visible = value;
}
}
private bool OtherSelected()
{
if (this.SelectedItem.Text == "Other")
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
Here is my code to add an instance of this control to the WebForm:
protected override void CreateChildControls()
{
var whyMentorOptions = new Dictionary<string, string>();
whyMentorOptions.Add("Option 1", "1");
whyMentorOptions.Add("Option 2", "2");
whyMentorOptions.Add("Option 3", "3");
whyMentorOptions.Add("Other", "Other");
mentorWhy = new RadioButtonListWithOther
{
DataSource = whyMentorOptions
};
this.mentorWhy.DataTextField = "Key";
this.mentorWhy.DataValueField = "Value";
this.mentorWhy.DataBind();
Form.Controls.Add(mentorWhy);
base.CreateChildControls();
}

Ihave the following code and would like to be able to control the layout of the textboxes and labels so they arent just in a long column. Right now everything works and controls are added, but they are added in 1 column which if you chose 32 from the dropdown the page becomes very long.. so would like to maybe wrap them across 3 columns so that each has at least 10 per column.

I have a user control, which is added dynamically, but I have noticed that when it is on the page and viewing the source that none of the controls within have been given unique ids. How do I give my user control and the controls within unique ids in order that I can use them in my events?

I'm building an ASP.NET UserControl where users of the website can upload several pictures at once. I'm doing it the old fashioned way by letting the user enter the amount of FileUpload controls wanted and then add them dynamically from C# to a asp:Panel control.
While this works, the values/files from the FileUpload isn't stored for when the user clicks the "Save" button. How exactly do I go about this problem?
My code for specifying the amount of FileUpload controls wanted:

I'm writing a formbuilder for our CMS which dynamically loads bespoke controls into panels within a repeater.
The bespoke controls all inherit from, lets say 5arx.FormBuilder.FormControl, a base class which defines abstract methods for initialising, validating, repopulating, gathering submitted data from them. Controls range from simple text fields to complex, composite client-side controls.
It all works very well, but I've noticed something I feel is anomalous. During the course of writing code to retrieve form controls. gather their data and persist it to my database I noticed that their type reverts to the way objects get typed if you write your code in the (v. irritating) VS 'website project' mode.
So, for example a control that is defined as living in a namespace and being of type
5arx.FormBuilder.FormControl.MyBespokeControl
Sarx.FormBuilder.FormControl.MyBespokeControl
at runtime reports its type (via simple call to GetType()) as being of type:
ASP.5arx_FormBuilder_FormControl_MyBespokeControl
ASP.Sarx_FormBuilder_FormControl_MyBespokeControl
Getting the BaseType property will correctly retrieve the underlying class, but it is perplexing to me why this should be happening. Particularly as I spent much of the summer refactoring our app from its original form as VS Website project (complete with shared code in the App_Code folder and other nastiness) to the (IHMO) correct web application project + supporting claass libraries so that we would have control over our namespaces and not get everything compiled into the ASP.x namespace
EDIT: Modified the (hypothetical) example root namespace.

I am trying figure out how I handle events in a dynamically added user control. Basically I can add user controls dynamically to my form (I am then storing them in an ArrayList in a Session variable that I use to reload them on my Page_Load). Each control has a button on it. However, whenever I click the button, the event never fires (code is never reached). I assume it has something to do with the control being dynamic, and when I click a button, it goes out of scope, and when I reload it something is lose in the event handling.
Here's my code for adding a user control:
Code:
Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim alContact As New ArrayList
If Not IsPostBack Then
' Dummy controls for testing
Dim oContact As New ASP.ContactControl
[Code] ....

I have a C# web application that dynamically adds user controls to the default page for whatever "mode" the application is in. The problem is that it is not persisting these across postbacks. How do I persist these across postbacks and keep the content of the controls that are in the user control?
For instance, say I have a user control that creates a new tour record. The user clicks on the Tour item from the menu on the default page, it dynamically loads the tours user control. The user then fills out the form in the tours user control and clicks save. This is where the problem happens. When the postback occurs, the web application has no idea that the new tours user control was ever loaded. So, no save takes place because the Save button's click event never even gets fired.

I am trying to create a form that is made up of controls with values that represent an entity with multiple child entities.
The form will represent a product with multiple properties where the user will then be able to create options with multiple properties which in turn be able to create multiple option-items with multiple properties.
My question is what is the best approach? Can i use ajax to avoid postbacks and having to rewrite the controls to the page? If i dynamically add the controls in the form of table rows or grid rows will the data/control values be available in the code-behind when i submit?
This is an age old question.. the last time i had to do this was .Net 2.0, pre-ajax (for me) and i was forced to recreate all the controls on each post back.

The situation:
I have user controls with buttons that have hooked events. Controls with events need to be initialized in Page_Load or earlier.
I wish to spawn these user controls dynamically by clicking an Add button.
It is important to remember that events, such as click events, are not fired until just before Page_LoadComplete.
Broken Solution A:
[code]...
Result: Everything works great, except the button within the added user control is inert.
The conundrum is: I need controls to spawned by a button click, which means I need to put my Controls.Add(...) code in Page_LoadComplete. Inversely, I need the controls being added to have working events, which means the Controls.Add(...) code need to be in Page_Load. I have a perfect dichotomy.

I'm dynamically adding a DropDownList to the GridView in edit mode and I have set the TextBox Visibility to False. In edit mode I can see the DropDownList and I'm able to select an Item from the DropDownList but not able to access the SelectedValue in RowUpdating Event. How to get the selectedvalue of this DropDownList?
Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowDataBound
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow And (e.Row.RowState And DataControlRowState.Edit) > 0 Then
Dim ddl as DropDownList
FillStateList(ddl)
e.Row.Cells(4).Controls.Add(ddl)
ddl is the DropDownList that is added dynamically. And the default Textbox that is in the Edit mode is set to invisible. So there are actually two controls in the same cell in edit mode(TextBox is invisible).
DirectCast(Gridview1.Rows(e.RowIndex).FindControl("ddl"),DropDownList).SelectedValue
If I use the above statement I'm getting NullException.This is Probably because its a BoundField. Is there a way I can access the DropDownList 'ddl' SelectedValue?

I am adding linkbutton dynamically (actually above snippet tells what I am actually doing, in reality TableRow and TableCell are added dynamiccally). My problem is, I am not setting height of linkbuttuon which will added dynamically. I have no idea what text I have to add to linkbutton.
What I want, after all the link buttons are added, iterate through each added lin button, get the height of each linkbutton, store the max height, then re-iterate throgh the link buttons and set the height of each link button to max height.

I have a composite user control consisting of three standard table cells (a legend, an image with a tool tip, and a text field control). If I add these to a TableRow in my aspx page it works fine and produces legal HTML in my source. The below works fine ...
<tr><MyControl:dataField
ID="txtEmail"
DataType="Email"
runat="server"
/></tr>
However when I try to do the same programmatically (C#) the TableRow won't accept anything in its Controls collection that isn't a TableCell. I could make my control a nested table in its own right but I lose the alignment of my form items on the page with multiple controls, as each table aligns itself according to its contents. Is there anyway I can make the TableRow accept my control as collection of cells or do I need to do some casting or making my user control inherit some kind of TableCell attributes? I can also dynamically add my controls to a TableCell item which actually displays OK in IE but creates illegal HTML (<td><td></td><td> ... </td></td> - I assume this is illegal) in my resulting source. The code below DOES NOT work ...

I am writing a search results page for an airline booking system. I have Next/Previous buttons to view flights for the next or previous days. The way i have done my results grid is that i use an HtmlTable and dynamically add rows, cells and controls into the cells. This gives ultimate flexibility given that we can add any control type we want and have it function as it does everywhere else in the system. As you should be aware - i must recreate these controls each time the page is reloaded (in the page_init event) since asp does not handle this automatically.
When they go next/previous it refreshes the flight data and re-populates the grids. If they select a flight in the return grid (by checking the RadioButton), and go next on the FIRST leg grid, the selection of the return leg stays the same after the postback
- which is great. But the problem is, if the flight they selected on the return leg is no longer available it will not create the control and i get the following error;
"Microsoft JScript runtime error: Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: Failed to load viewstate. The control tree into which viewstate is being loaded must match the control tree that was used to save viewstate during the previous request. For example, when adding controls dynamically, the controls added during a post-back must match the type and position of the controls added during the initial request."
Is there any way to tell asp.net that if you do not find the control anymore, simply ignore it rather than throwing the error? The nature of this design is that there potentioally WILL be a different layout after the page is posted back.
